A supposedly reformed cat burglar, out to prove himself innocent of a recent crime spree, tries to capture the thief who's terrifying the French Riviera. Cary Grant is devastatingly elegant as the reformed thief, John Robie, and charming enough to attract the attention of the lovely Frances Stevens (Grace Kelly), a wealthy and spoiled American traveling the Riviera with her widowed mother (Jessie Royce Landis). However, things do not begin on a romantic note. Robie is more interested in clearing his name than in pursuing the beautiful American, but the two will not go their separate ways so easily. When Mrs. Stevens has her jewels stolen, the snubbed Frances puts the police on Robie's trail. Now the dashing Robie will have to win the confidence and assistance of Frances if he is to ever set things right. The stars are radiant together, with an entrancing chemistry that sparkles, especially in the impromptu ad-libbed dialogue of the picnic scene. A series of elaborate set pieces combined with dramatic Riviera scenery make the film an enduring glamorous spectacle, featuring a fireworks kissing scene that is truly a classic.

User Reviews: To Catch a Thief (1955)

  • Overall:

    Catch this flick!

    By Jonathan  Aug 25, 2001

    "To Catch a Thief" is one of my favorite Hitchcock movies. It has the gorgeous Grace Kelly and lady's-man Cary Grant set in the beautiful French Mediterranean. The chemistry between them is undeniable and the comedic by-product is thoroughly enjoyabl...e. This is a must-see! Read more Less

  • Overall:

    A lesser known classic

    By Gramps  Mar 3, 2001

    Not quite on par with the true Hitchcock classics, this film still manages to exude the style, humor, and thrills one has come to expect. Grant and Kelly are both great in the lead roles and the scenery is beautiful to look at. The mystery element ...to the film is a bit lacking, but I forgive Hitchcock for it. Focus on the actors chemistry and you'll enjoy this one. Read more Less
